THE FIRST SIGN: TURNING WATER INTO WINE

2 On the third day a wedding took place in Canau of Galilee.v Jesus’s motherw was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, “They don’t have any wine.”

4 “What has this concern of yours to do with me,* x woman?”y Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 “Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants.

6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification.z Each contained twenty or thirty gallons.H

7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.”I And they did.
